CuesOn your show's own Wi-Fi, with no internet and no cable runs.
Standby flashes on the station until the crew taps READY, and you see they're ready. A lighting cue or QLab can call standbys and GOs by itself, too.
The same GO runs lighting, sound and video: Eos, grandMA3, grandMA2, QLab, X32 and M32, WATCHOUT 7, Isadora, or anything that speaks OSC. Or leave it off and every screen still shows each desk's cues, live.
Half hour, fifteen, ten, five and places go out by themselves. One press starts the intermission clock on every screen.
"Hold please" to one station, a department or everyone. It flashes until it's read, and you see who read it.
Big tiles for the main positions, small ones for the dressing rooms: drag any line to resize. Locked while you call, saved with the show.
Each crew position gets its own cue list, so the fly rail sees "STANDBY · 4 · Balcony border in", not just a red light. With Cues Pro, it stays in step with the cue sheet you already keep in Google Sheets.
The fly captain slows cue 4 and adds 4.5, on their phone. Go2Cue only reads the sheet.
| Cue | What | Fade | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 1 | Main rag out | |
| 3 | 2 | Street drop out | |
| 4 | 3 | Moon in | 8 |
| 5 | 4 | Balcony border in, slower | 6 |
| 6 | 4.5 | Orchard leaves fly in | 10 |
| 7 | 5 | Garden wall in | |
| 8 | 6 | Moon out | |
| 9 | 7 | Friar's cell drop in |
Between shows it goes straight in. Mid-show, a yellow LIST CHANGED button shows what changed, and nothing moves until you press Apply now.
Each station keeps its place by cue number, so nobody jumps.
The Go2Cue Station app makes an iPhone or iPad a crew station, with coms on a headset too. It finds the stage manager's computer by itself.
With our beta testers now; the App Store to follow.
A 3.5-inch touchscreen for any crew position: the cue, what's next, and a STANDBY you can't miss. On the rail, the deck, or the dressing room wall.
Any Windows or Mac laptop, iPhone or iPad can be a station: an old laptop on the fly floor, an iPad backstage, a phone in the dressing room. Only the stage manager's laptop needs a license.
The Waveshare ESP32-C5 3.5" touchscreen. Plug it into the stage manager's computer, sign in to your free Go2Cue account, choose Box setup, pick its Wi-Fi and station, done. A new box takes a box setup: $5, or included with a license you own. After that it updates itself over the air.
